Why Choose the Mersen NH4AM69V800-8 Motor Fuse Link?
The Mersen NH4AM69V800-8 is a heavy-duty DIN NH aM fuse link designed specifically for short-circuit protection in high-power industrial motor circuits. Manufactured by Mersen, this NH Size 4 fuse link delivers exceptional current-limiting performance, protecting large motors, motor starters, contactors and associated electrical equipment from damaging fault currents while maintaining reliable operation in demanding industrial environments.
With a rated current of 800 A and a 690 V AC voltage rating, the NH4AM69V800-8 is engineered to withstand the high inrush currents associated with motor starting while providing rapid interruption of severe short-circuit faults. Its aM operating class makes it ideal for motor protection systems that incorporate a separate overload relay or motor protection circuit breaker.
Manufactured in the standard NH Size 4 format, this fuse link features blade contacts, live gripping lugs and a top-mounted operation indicator. Its robust ceramic construction, high breaking capacity and compliance with IEC standards make it suitable for heavy industrial motor control centres, switchgear and low-voltage power distribution systems.

Reliable Short-Circuit Protection for High-Power Motors
The Mersen NH4AM69V800-8 is designed for the protection of high-power motors by rapidly interrupting severe fault currents while tolerating the temporary inrush currents generated during normal motor starting. Its advanced current-limiting characteristics help reduce thermal and mechanical stress on motors, conductors and switching equipment.
As an aM partial-range fuse, the NH4AM69V800-8 provides short-circuit protection only. It should always be coordinated with a suitable overload relay or motor protection circuit breaker to achieve complete motor protection.
